3Novices:It’s happy birthday, Shanghai Disney … but the competition’s lining up to crash the party

Shanghai Disneyland celebrates its first birthday on Friday. The US$5.5 billion theme park opened with a fanfare on June 16, 2016, and despite niggling complaints about costly food, long queues, ticket scalpers and rude tourists, it has since welcomed more than 10 million visitors.
Despite the auspicious start, it might not yet be time to celebrate, as the 3.9 sq km attraction in the heart of the Chinese metropolis is set to face some stiff competition.
